2.What date was the entry clearance or visa issued?
Is it the VISA start date?I got letter from Embassy on may8th 2009 but my visa is valid from 1st June.I requested visa validity from June when I lodged application that time.

Q1. Age & Q2. Date
Are you confused which one is relevant and therefore cannot determine the points you score for the various relevant attributes with regards to your leave to remain (extension) application as Tier 1 (General) migrant?
The only date that is of any relevance is the date of application when you applied for either HSMP approval or Tier 1 (General) the very first time (leading to a successful grant of leave with / without an appeal or administrative review).
Why? - Because the immigration rules and policy that you are subject to depends on this date and this date alone, in context of extension application.
Never jump to using the PBS calculator before reading the policy guidance first because more often than not the confusion(s) exist(s) because of ignorance about what the policy guidance says on the issue in question.
1. PBS calculator works on the basis of inputs you provide.
2. To ascertain whether your inputs are accurate, you need to read the policy guidance first.
Hint: Search for the phrase "under the rules in place" in the policy guidance.
